Mario Tennis Aces is a solid but incomplete title, which also lacks that note of color and imagination that we loved in Mario Power Tennis for GameCube. The technical and rewarding control system promotes competitive confrontation, and if Nintendo plans to frequently update the game with new contents and events, we will surely have a lot of fun for a long time.

Dragon's Dogma is a great fantasy game, where the lack of a multiplayer experience is compensated from an impressive single player. The Pawn's IA works great and if you're looking for an epic experience, this Capcom game is your best option right now. Pity for the long loading times and some frame rate drops that prevent the game from reaching higher scores.

The latest Mario papercraft adventure delivers an enjoyable and easy-to-play platform RPG, with some uninspired and sometimes frustrating design elements.

Saints Row Re-Elected is a lazy porting of a good game. Volition has filled the gameplay with an amazing number of contents, but all the problems are still there.

Another must-have title for Kingdom Hearts fans and action-RPG lovers, with enough juice to fill your summer thirst.

Rebel Galaxy is a stupendous effort from a small development team. Somewhat limited in the scope, the game shines in combat, ship progression and production values.

Quotation forthcoming.

Satellite Reign is an interesting cyberpunk RPG that tries to create an open world but fails at making it a cohesive and credible one. Missions are interesting and, above all, the stealth action is quite superb. A mixed bag that needs to be evaluated before purchase.

Disney Infinity is a good way to use and play with the most famous Disney's IPs. The problem is that the game has an economic model too aggressive, that pushes you to spend lots of money to have an off-line co-op mode and more objects to use in your Toybox. Another problem is that the new characters don't affect the game: all the cutscenes and the missions are packed for the main creature, showing little polishing of the game. Is still a good way to play with your friends or relatives, if you are rich enough.

Aliens and soldiers meet again in Infested Planet, making for a various and good enough game to make you come for more, but not enough to leave a mark.

Hohokum is a weird, interesting game that unfortunately not everybody is going to enjoy. Try it if you have a chance, you could fall in love with this stylish piece of art from the British studio Honeyslug.

Seasons After Fall is a beautiful adventure, a bit lacking in the playful side. The art design is great, the soundtrack amazing and delicate. The puzzles are too simple and the level design is not surprising. A game that is nice to see, a little less to play.

Another generous collection of old-time classics, packed with a charming retro-nerd interface, online gaming and some pretty challenging new features.

A good showcase of VR's next genration of videogames.

Despite an old-gen aesthetic and some minor issues, Descenders is a good downhill arcade racer with pretty good SSX and Tony Hawk's vibes.

Killng Floor 2 is a good co-op shooter with a lot of horrible monsters that can be slayed in a thousand of ways. It is hard and satisfying but, after a lot of matches, the formula can become boring. Recommended for organized team of friends that love massacre foes together.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Persistence without VR is an ordinary roguelike horror game, with evident stealth features, a good atmosphere and a decent playful structure. Too bad about a very different perception on the atmosphere of an experience born and created evidently for the virtual reality.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is an entertaining on rails-shooter that will wind Biohazard fans in a vortex of fun and nostalgia. If you live for Resident Evil just go for it, but if you're searching for the best exponent of the genre, Dead Space: Extraction is always the best in its genre.

Thieves Guild introduces new gameplay features, related to missions where the goal is to steal objects, which unfortunately do not work properly. New weapons, quests, NPC and dungeons, however, will be enough to make the fans happy.

Absolver has a very fresh concept that combines fighting game and GDR mechanics. The result is quite good: the combat system is one of the most customizable we've ever seen and the beautiful world of Adal is a pleasure for the eyes. Unfortunately the lack of a map and the devious level design dilute the experience and the main quest is only a pretext to introduce the player to the PVP.

This is not a typical first-person-shooter. It mixes different gameplay elements in a spine-chilling setting. With a double-sided single player, multiple co-op options and a solid multiplayer offering, F.3.A.R. surely deserves some attention.

If Blacklight: Retribution was a full fledged commercial product, it wouldn't make it to a decent score: the free to play business model instead deserves some attention from the FPS junkies with empty pockets, in particular those who truly can't stand Team Fortress 2.

One Piece pirate Warriors 4 embodies the mood of the series, giving the chance to rediscover the famous Rufy’s saga through its most iconic places and characters.

Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing is a great copy of Mario Kart. It's atmosphere is really nice, and you'll love to play this game with your friends. The level design is good enough, and the 60 missions grant a good longevity even in single player.

A touching and beautifully designed modern day adventure.

Quotation forthcoming.

A non-sense indie arcade game that recalls Katamari Damacy's gameplay style but falls too short to be remembered.

Grid Legends tries to get in the slipstream of Gran Turismo 7 but we doubt his engine will have the grunt to give Polyphony Digital a good run for their money.

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is a good game, but it lacks an identity. Ubisoft followed the easiest way to forget the commercial delusion of the last Prince of Persia, going back to the previous trilogy. The result is a huge deja-vu, with some interesting addiction.

The new adventure of Wadjet Eye Games is a small masterpiece. Easy to complete, fit ascinates the player thanks to a deep plot and a protagonist admirably characterized.

LUNA The Shadow Dust is a splendid first work by Lantern Studio, beautiful to look at and fun to play, simple in concept and well-kept in its creation, capable of entertaining and making itself loved even by the least passionate of puzzle games.

To make someone laugh while playing is no easy task, and Jazzpunk succeeds in doing just that most of the time.

Gran Turismo Sport breaks from the standard of the series and focuses on online races and eSports, but in the process loses some content. Technically speaking, the game is a real masterpiece and pushes the PS4 hardware to its limits, though dynamic weather is not present. Even if the physics model is upgraded from GT6, there are still old problems, but driving is still very fun with a good driving wheel.

Remarkably well made with respect to graphics and visuals design, MIND: Path to Thalamus also offers more than decent puzzles, a nice story and a great overall atmosphere. Well worth the money despite the four hours needed to clear it and its low replay value.

Far Harbor expand Fallout 4 with some great narrative, a charming new island to discover and strong characters. But it's a little too easy for the veterans and expensive for those that haven't the season pass. Still it is a must buy for Fallout 4 fans.

The usual Worms, fun as ever, with some interesting new feature. Crafting and the presence of vehicles, give new life to the battles between worms, making Worms W.M.D. a recommended chapter also to those who have abandoned the saga years ago.

Quotation forthcoming.

Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow and Light is a nice evolution of the Inazuma Eleven series. The new graphics are pretty good and the exploration is much better than before. The new gameplay elements are interesting, but the lack of the online multiplayer is still a shame.

Star Wars Battlefront is the ultimate fan service machine. Awesome looking, faithful to the original source and incredibly fun, this game is the software version of the Nintendo Wii: it will sell a lot, mostly at people who don't care about video games. But the harcore fans of the Old Republic will be disappointed.

Two Worlds II is exactly what the previous episode should have been: great, full of things to do and variegated. Actually it's probably one of the best CRPG available and even with its little bugs and a linear story, it's really a game to try.

Probably the hardest platform game ever made. Try to enter if you dare, but if you want to relax yourself… don’t try this at home!

One of the most beloved franchises return on iOS and Android in a very well executed porting.

The PC version of Fable III is better than the console version. The new difficulty level is what hardcore gamers asked for, and you'll get all the contents of the Collector's Edition at a lower price. If you like long and story-driven games, you should consider buying it.

Anna: Extended Edition represents the natural maturation of Dreampainters debut title. Italian developers corrected the most bitter points of their previous work in order to create a deep and complete game, an homage at the same time to the never-dying adventure game genre and to the most deep and sick horror.

Super Ultra Hyper Remix Dead Rising 3 Arcade Edition EX Plus Alpha is a journey into the past that traces all the masterpieces of Capcom. Unfortunately, the result is repetitive gameplay, though things improve if the campaign is played in coop.

Out There: Omega edition is an astounding textual and visual space adventure, and a good catch for every sci-fi fan.

Quotation forthcoming.

The first episode of The Council sets the basis for an interesting adventure game, which cleverly uses some of the classic gameplay elements of RPGs. If in the next few episodes the narrative structure becomes more malleable, we will have to deal with a small masterpiece of the genre.

Milanoir is definitely a respectable debut, with an original style and interesting ideas for gameplay. Small smudges affect excellence in this way, but we were fascinated from this game.

Onrush is one of the most entertaining arcade experiences we tried in recent years, and we could barely stop playing it. On another note, it might require a lot of constant support to not become stale shortly after launch.

With the new DLC dedicated to the X Games, Steep is now complete. After two years, the gameplay offers mechanics for both type of gamer: extreme or technician. This DLC is the right content at the right time, although limited by the gameplay design.

Yes, Your Grace Is a fun romp through the life of a powerful man in medieval times.The narrative is well written and the choices interesting but the trip is over soon and not that worthy of a second try.

An enjoyable adventure settled in a fantastic world, with creatures that call out for help, really inspired and funny.

Evil Genius 2 is a fun and deep base building strategy game that manages to offer hours of fun, a lot of thematic jokes wrapped in a package of stellar art direction and high production values.

Hot Wheels Unleashed tries to bring back the memories of childhood with a fast and colored game. Unfortunately it does not succeed completely, resulting too simple and repetitive.

Quotation forthcoming.

Last Day of June moves along the thin line between the adventure/puzzle genre and the narrative experiences. It tells a touching and well thought-out story, delivering at the same time on the gameplay side despite some little flaws. The new game created by Ovosonico is a great tale about love, time and fate.

A surprisingly fun karaoke game, with a strong community and good online options. Unfortunately, censorship in many tracks brings down the overall experience.

Ridge Racer 3D brings new "depth" to a lot of old-school elements of this series and represents another solid and entertaining entry in the series.

Art Academy was a great DsiWare title, and now it's a greater cardige for all DS owners. Every lesson is a nice way to learn and understand drawing and painting, and the combination between the stylus and the touch screen is well implemented into the experience.

An atmospheric roguelike action-adventure that misses the magic of previous Capybara games because of its steep difficulty curve and repetitive design.

The Medium is yet additional proof of Bloober Team's talent in creating authentic digital nightmares. Gameplay-wise the game is inspired by the classics of the past without giving up its own personal imprint, and the story is also well written. The art direction, though, is the real deal.

MortalKombat 11: Aftermath is by far the best expansion in the whole fighting game genre. Detail level, storytelling and overall quality are all over the top, but the raw size of the experience it's still somewhat underwhelming.

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk deserved a second chance, especially for a deep and rich turn-based combat system. Unfortunately the plot is not told with the right rhythm, and the technical department is backward. Recommended for old-fashioned dungeon crawler and GDR fans.

Shinji Mikami's latest game is an engaging and mesmerizing trip into Japanese horror folklore.

Looking for a crazy difficult game? Hard Cops: Uprising is your best choice! This Contra remake is an awesome example of the old school madness, where players have few lives to beat the hell. A great design and an high production value are great extras to create a fantastic experience.

Farming Simulator 2022 continues the ten-year tradition of agricultural simulator, bringing some nice innovations but with little depth.

Thanks to its bizarre atmosphere and addictive gameplay, Raskulls proves to be one of the finest examples of modern high quality arcade gaming. You cannot deny yourself the chance to try it out.

With Gravity Ghost, the independent developer Ivy Games carries us to a metaphysical world beyond death, without being able to fully capture Newtonian physics’ potential.

This new episode of the SmackDown franchise presents a couple of good ideas. The new online mode works properly, and can offer a lot of fun. If you are thinking to play a wrestling game online, this is the best option.

The Evil Within is the game Resident Evil 5 should have been. The problem is that in the last 5 years videogames have evolved and some gameplay solutions have become obsolete.

Maybe this is not the (new) Syndicate that older gamers were waiting for, but it's a very good and solid FPS experience... for single and multiplayer fans.

Quotation forthcoming.

Victor Vran is an isometric action-RPG with an original and a unique taste. The story is immersive, and overall it's a good game that deserves a try.

The Night of the Rabbit suffers occasionally from a too relaxed pacing, but the game’s many qualities more than make up for this small setback.

[Recommended]

Call of Duty Black Ops II – Revolution is a very solid DLC, though not the revolution you mentioned in its title.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is a genuine clone of the Super Smash Bros. franchise. Sony did a great job creating something pretty similar to the original Nintendo experience. The lack of Nintendo characters, anyway, is probably the most important issue of this great game.

The Switch version of this nice old school JRPG runs at 30fps. Despise that, this is the best version of the game. You can play it at home or wherever you like, along with an interesting FREE DLC.

Concrete Genie is a colorful and magical fairy tale for children. The project, perhaps too ambitious, however led to a clearly incomplete work.

Afterparty is a fun, easy-going game with a pungent humor that will get you more than a laugh. The interaction is limited but the plot, the setting and the characters are irresistible.

Bloodroots is like a Hotline Miami set in a western world, with a little touch of Tarantino. Play it, kill and have fun.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew is the killer application that virtual reality needed. Funny, engaging, unique in its kind, Ubisoft's game is also enjoyable by those who are not fans of Star Trek.

Second season, second game with more titans, more characters, and more action.

A card RPG with a great presentation and soundtrack; unfortunately the gameplay lacks in depth and, above all, Yoko Taro's special sauce.

Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection finally arrives on Nintendo consoles with some compromises too many to accept. Ezio's saga is splendid but unfortunately the weight of the years is felt.

DiRT goes wild! With this hilarious spin-off, Codemasters puts the fun in front of every simulative ambition, dishing out a game that brings back memories of the first two Destruction Derby, mixed with the award winning Codies unique style.

Chernobylite is a Sci-Fi RPG with survival horror elements set in a post-nuclear Chernobyl. You are Igor, a Physician who worked for the nuclear reactor 30 years ago, searching for his beloved girlfriend vanished after the infamous explosion. You will travel from past to present, warping on virtual worlds too, collecting clues, recruiting allies and running away from fearful monsters. If you liked Stalker, Metro and Fallout games, Chernobylite is a must buy.

Sadly, Shank is a nice but short action game. The combat system is well studied but doesn't have the right balance, and the entire experience ends in three hours only. The offline only multiplayer game is also a crazy choice.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is, sadly, too PlayStation-style. The stylus is only used in the character customization, and it is a shame. Anyway, the sharp 3D engine and the huge number of missions are good elements, and the multiplayer option is a nice addition to the original design.

Despite some passages that are quite frustrating, despite a limited longevity, the game is highly recommended for fans of the genre and not. Yomawari: Night Alone is a small masterpiece that will terrorize you several times.

Thieves in Time is an entertaining albeit not groundbreaking game, that stays true to the series' legacy and manages to deliver a generally fun experience.

Hector Badge of Carnage is not a title for proper adventure gamers, but just an average game with a decent rhythm and a tons of puns.

The new experience system, along with 5 new maps and additional weapon skins, will surely satisfy hardcore fans, but if you're not among them you should consider keeping your money for something else.

The worst episode so far. We can't feel the fight inside Bigby and the flow of the story is independent from his choices and words. The narrative castle Telltale built so far collapses for sloppy scripting and weak gameplay.
